* ''Ballon Head'': A burlacci with this power may use a standard action which doesn't provoke to detach its head and transform it into a balloon. While the transformation is active the burlacci's head has a flight speed of 15 feet (poor) and may move once each turn, independently of the character's actions. It has a the same AC of the burlacci, apart from any armor, shield or natural armor the character posses, and, for a Medium burlacci, a +2 size bonus to AC as it's a Tiny creature. It can move, see, speak and do everything the burlacci could do. It's immune to non-magic bludgeoning damage, but even one point of damage makes it pop and inflicts one point of damage per HD to the burlacci. The head reforms immediately on the user, as it does if the distance between the balloon and the body is over 100 feet. Dismissing the effect is a free action.

Masosado

Believed to have been created by a god of laughter, burlacci are a race of clown-like humanoids which act as if the world is a stage for a comedy show.

Personality

No amount of precision can define burlacci's personality as a whole, as the diverse specimens that make up this race are very different in their way of expressing themselves and receiving input from the outside world.

More or less, it can be said that they all like a good joke (except for the pierrot) and live to perform, entertain (themselves and/or others) and generally having a good laugh before the world comes to an end.

Theirs is both a stupendous and cursed life, almost tragic, like most artists, living on the verge between happiness and hardship.

Physical Description

They are humanoid-looking, mainly similar to humans, but their countenance may also resemble other humanoid species.

They have, however, characteristics traits, that make them stand out from other humanoids, as they appears as if always in clown costumes and make-up.

There types of burlacci, each with a different style of clothing and skin complexion.

Auguste: These burlacci are the most common type, and the better known among the general population. They wear strange, colourful and mismatched clothes, often too big, with comically-oversized shoes, red, ball-shaped noses, usually white make-up with colours around their eyes and mouth, and they sport crazy hair of any color, sometimes cut short o top of their head. They are loud, humorous, and often obnoxious.

Harlequin: Often confused with the auguste, these burclacci also have colorful clothes, but finely checkered. They have the top half of their face of jet black, with feature that resemble a mask in the shape of a indefinite animal, very similar to a fox, sometimes with a prominent nose. They often wear some kind of hats. They are agile, quickwitted, very similar in personality to auguste burlacci, just less brutish and more romantic.

Mime: A special type of burlacci, that typically wears a striped-shirt, monochrome trousers, suspenders, a bowler, often with dull, monotone colors. They are completely silent, and instead express themselves through the miming of actions, gestures or full acting. Seemingly, all other burlacci can understand them perfectly.

Pierrot: Pierrot burlacci are the complete opposite of auguste burlacci. They wear a loose white blouse with large buttons and wide white pantaloons. Sometimes they appears with a frilled collaret and a hat, usually with a close-fitting crown and wide round brim and, more rarely, with a conical shape like a dunce's cap. They have chalk-white skin, with eyes and mouth circled with black or deep blue, sometimes with a single or double tear-shaped mark under their eyes, in black, blue or red.

Pulcinella: A very rare type of burlacci, their appearance includes a humpback, a crooked nose, gangly legs, a potbelly, large cheeks, and a gigantic mouth. As harlequins, they also may have the top of their head in the shape of a black mask, humanoid and with a big nose. Often they appear older than they are. They wear clothes often similar to the pierrot, but with more colorful additions. They are cunning social-climbers, and oportunists, but can show heroic qualities and often help those in need.
